David Michôdtalked to HitFix back in May 2014 about casting Robert Pattinson as ‘Rey’ in ‘The Rover and this is what HitFix and David had to say:

The 41-year-old filmmaker had worked with Pearce in “Animal
Kingdom” and both he and Joel Edgerton, who received a shared story-by
credit, created Eric with him in mind. Pattinson, on the other hand, was a
different story. Michôd had a general meeting with the actor before he
“The Rover” became his follow-up and says he just immediately liked
him.

“I found him really beguiling and I loved his physical energy, and he was smart and had a wonderfully open face,” Michôd recalls. “When it came time to start testing for the character, I knew I wanted to see him, but yeah, I didn’t know what he was capable of. I think he knew that people didn’t know what he was capable of as well and so he was very willing to work and work hard. But very quickly when he came in to test for me I could just see this skill set that he just hasn’t been able to showcase.”

Robert Pattinson was perfect for Salvador Dali according to Paul Morrison

Back in May 2009, Paul Morrison the director of Little Ashes spoke to The Examiner about Rob and casting him as Salvador Dali in #LittleAshes:

For Lorca and Dali, I must have seen every up-and-coming young actor who was available in both Spain and the U.K. Originally, Rob read for Lorca, and I was going to cast Dali in Spain. But Rob felt so much more a Dali – the combination of acute intelligence and vulnerability and self-consciousness that the part demanded – that I switched, and brought him back to read for Dali. He was perfect. I never saw anyone in Spain who felt right for Dali, by the way.

A new interview appeared in Vanity Fair Spain. Below is an extract (thanks to Google translate). Interesting to read about Harmony Korine and I am beside myself that Rob has been pursuing Almodovar:

The man who sits down for this interview has nothing to do with the character that the press sold during [the Twilight years] (surly, provocative, hating his existence), to begin with because he smiles. Smiles constantly. The only thing that Robert Pattinson has in common with R-Patz, of course, is the hair: he is constantly touching, as if he were angry with it, and before each shake the mane acquires an even more impressive position than the previous one. That’s the only special effect in Pattinson’s career right now.

“There are already enough fucking movies in the world,” says the actor to explain why he pursued the French director Claire Denis, after being impressed with A Woman in Africa , to give him work in High Life . “I do not have any power to get funding for a movie, unless it’s a vampire movie. In that case maybe they would give me $20 to do it.” Pattinson writes personally to authors who stimulate him emotionally or intellectually without telling his agents. He did it with James Gray (The Lost City of Z), Antonio Campos (author of the indie Christine phenomenon, with whom he will shoot The Devil All The Time ), Werner Herzog (The Desert Queen ) or the Safdie brothers (Good Time ), to whom he was attracted after seeing a single photo of Heaven Knows What : the close-up of his protagonist, the heroin addict in real life Arielle Holmes , illuminated in magenta tones.

It does not always work for him (he contacted Harmony Korine , but his role in Beach Bum has been done by Zac Efron and he confesses that he has been “working” with Almodóvar for years), but Robert Pattinson is building a career not based on his fame but against it.
